"home built auth system" is bound to have "random SSO issues". You fix them, that's how things mature.

- rubogubo 5mo agoI'm guessing they simply didnt want to spend the time and money doing that
- janderson215 5mo agoPossibly didn’t want to accept the additional risk that comes with rolling your own auth as well.
- SkyPuncher 5mo agoYep, it’s just a drag. It’s not our core product value so any effort we put into it is a drag.
- ButyTh0 5mo agoRather than just use an email solution Google built GMail into a massive email solution despite it not being a core product Sometimes that's just an opportunity
- jdmichal 5mo ago> ... not being a core product Technically true, because Google's core product is ads. Also fundamentally wrong, because Gmail serves as a massive source of ad targeting information, in addition to being a high-engagement canvas to display those ads.
- exi2 5mo agoGoogle has not been scanning gmail mails for ad targeting since 2017. I think after 9 years we can finally let that one go. Ad display I'll still grant you of course.
- vinckr 5mo agoI don't think we can let that one go so easily, since they might not be scanning for ad targeting (pinky promise?) - but they most certainly will slurp everything up for their AI stuff: https://blog.google/products-and-platforms/products/gmail/gmail-is-entering-the-gemini-era/ https://blog.google/products-and-platforms/products/gmail/gm...
- ButyTh0 5mo agoSure, now it is. It was an unproven long shot when they built it.
- tomrod 5mo agoSupabase's auth is MIT licensed and OSS, is it not? https://github.com/supabase/auth/blob/master/LICENSE https://github.com/supabase/auth/blob/master/LICENSE
- ctm92 5mo agoSupabase is OSS but it's a real pain to actually self host it
- theturtletalks 5mo agoCouldn’t you get Claude to go into Supabase’s auth code and make your custom like their’s but adapted to your stack?
- linkregister 5mo ago"Claude, make my custom like their's but adapted to my stack. Make no mistakes"
- ofrzeta 5mo agoThis is not funny because people are doing that for real.
- fakedang 5mo agoExhibit A, mi.
- kahnclusions 5mo agoAnd don’t hallucinate.
- theturtletalks 5mo agoYou’ll have to drive the agent to do it, not a one-shot task. It’ll also require you to understand your codebase.
